schemas supported in VMware vCenter Single Sign-On (2064977)

I have spent the last two days trying to get vSphere 6.7 SSO to talk to Red Hat Identity
Manager (FreeIPA v4.6.5)
Group permissions from LDAP do not work in vSphere. Period. It tells me, "
"Unable to login because you do not have permission on any vCenter server systems
connected to this client"
I can associate an LDAP user to a vSphere role at the global level, but that won’t scale
very far.
QUESTION: Does anyone know of an OpenLDAP setup that satisfies the VMware KB description
?
I do not believe that such a critter exists unless it is a home-grown, custom cobbled
together monstrosity that would be a nightmare to maintain.
This was my point to VMware support.
They support Active Directory.
They should support FreeIPA because their "OpenLDAP" setup probably does not
exist.
I am looking for any recent information anyone may have about getting this to work.
I am also looking for more detail to support my claim to VMware that they need to support
FreeIPA.
